Monica is co-founder and president of Kotoboo – a peek into language acquisition: under the scientific microscope, an online resource on language development for caregivers and educators. Kotoboo unpacks scientific findings into comic tidbits accessible for all. Kotoboo aims to go beyond simply making science accessible somewhere on the web, and to actively reach a diverse public. One way Kotoboo sows ties between science and public is by rooting each comic in frequent questions, concerns, or wonders caregivers and educators have as they watch the children before them grow. Monica is Kotoboo’s writer and web designer.
